Before Marc Webb swung into action, there were several other notable directors circling Sony's "Spider-Man" reboot — including David Fincher, at one point. But if the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" filmmaker had tangled himself up with the "Amazing" comic book flick, he would have come at it very differently than previous attempts at sticking Spidey to the big screen.
Speaking with io9, Fincher revealed that his vision of "Spider-Man" was "very different from what Sam [Raimi] did or what Sam wanted to do. I think the reason he directed that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero. I was never interested in the genesis story."
Of course, Fincher couldn't completely ignore Spider-Man's origin. So how did he plan to deal with that series of events? Three words: operatic music video. (Naturally!)
